Chapter 109

“Yuanyuan, you’re not stupid at all.” Yan Jin sighed with a mixture of laughter and tears, patting Yu Shu who had fallen into a state of self-loathing, “Because you’ve already remembered.”

Yu Shu let out a dazed “huh” before belatedly realizing, “I really remembered.”

Seeing Yu Shu pouting and his mood about to turn sour again, Yan Jin quickly kissed Yu Shu’s reddened eyelids from crying, “Yuanyuan, didn’t you say you were hungry? Just sit and wait a bit, I’ll cook noodles for you.”

“It’s okay, I’ll do it. Xiaoxiao, you don’t know how to start a fire, don’t scald your hands.” Yu Shu shook his head, still with a slight nasal tone, “It’s so late, Xiaoxiao, you must be hungry too. Wait for me a little longer, I’ll have the noodles ready very soon.”

“I’ve seen you start fires so many times, I learned how to do it long ago.” Yan Jin’s tone was full of heartache, “Yuanyuan, be good, wait for me on the side, the noodles will be ready in no time.”

Yu Shu, who was forcibly pressed into a chair by Yan Jin, sat on pins and needles, “I’ll do it.” “It’s so late, Xiaoxiao, you don’t usually cook much, it wouldn’t be good if you scald your hands.”

Yan Jin wanted to refuse at first, but seeing the uneasiness in Yu Shu’s eyes, she changed her mind, “Then you help me start the fire, I’ll cook the noodles.”

Yuanyuan’s mood was very off tonight. If he had nothing to do, he might let his imagination run wild.

Better to give Yuanyuan something to do to distract him a bit.

“But…” Yu Shu wanted to refuse, but Yan Jin cut him off, “Be good, listen to me, don’t make me worry.”

As Yu Shu started the fire, he muttered, “Xiaoxiao, I can do it alone, you don’t have to go out of your way to make noodles for me.”

“But I would feel bad.” Seeing the water boiling in the pot, Yan Jin put the noodles in, “Your eyes are all red from crying, how could I let you cook noodles alone, eat noodles alone, and then return to your room all by yourself?”

“Xiaoxiao.” Yu Shu felt a warm feeling in his heart upon hearing this, and couldn’t help but hug Yan Jin from behind, “You’re so good to me.”

“Because you’re very good to me too.” Yan Jin chuckled, “Otherwise, I couldn’t possibly get up in the middle of the night to make you a midnight snack.”

Compared to Yu Shu, Yan Jin’s cooking skills could only be described as edible.

But when eating the simple vegetable noodle soup, Yu Shu felt it was the most delicious noodles he had ever tasted.

Yu Shu’s eyelashes fluttered, his eyes seemingly welling up with tears, but he quickly and roughly wiped them away.

However, Yan Jin still noticed something amiss, “Yuanyuan, if it tastes really bad, don’t force yourself to eat it, I’ll make you something else.”

Indeed, when you’re not good at something, you should know your limits and not force yourself.

“It’s especially delicious.” Yu Shu held the bowl, lightly sniffling his reddened nose, “I don’t know what’s gotten into me tonight, my tear ducts have become so shallow.”

“I suspect it’s because you’ve eaten too little these past few days, causing your emotions to be unstable.” Yan Jin analyzed, “Before, when you ate and drank well, you were always happy and never like this as you are tonight.”

Yu Shu was half-convinced, “Is it really because I ate too little?”

“I think so.” Yan Jin made a suggestion, “How about you finish this bowl of noodles, and if your mood improves a bit, then your emotions being off tonight would be because you usually eat too little.”

Yu Shu couldn’t think of a better idea at the moment, so he did as Yan Jin said and finished the bowl of noodles, temporarily forgetting about his diet plan.

After the two finished eating, they cleaned up a bit and returned to their room to rest.

Before going to sleep, Yan Jin asked Yu Shu, “Yuanyuan, are you feeling a bit better now?”

Yu Shu closed his eyes to sense his own emotions and found his heart filled with a warm feeling, as if filled with warm sunshine. He opened his mouth in surprise, “Xiaoxiao, I’m feeling much better now.”

Hearing Yu Shu’s words, Yan Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, Yuanyuan was hugging his bowl and crying sadly, scaring the daylights out of her.

Fortunately, Yuanyuan had recovered now, otherwise, even in the middle of the night, she would have to take Yuanyuan to see a doctor.

“So you need to eat well and stop thinking about dieting by eating less.” Yan Jin patted Yu Shu, “I don’t want to hug a rack of bones to sleep.”

“You’re the rack of bones.” Yu Shu lightly nibbled Yan Jin’s ear with his teeth, “My abs are still here, feel them if you don’t believe me.”

“In the middle of the night, this isn’t appropriate.” Yan Jin held back a laugh, “Tomorrow we’re setting off for the capital, if things get out of hand, someone might not be able to get up the next day.”

Yu Shu wasn’t convinced and reached out to tickle Yan Jin, “I’ve been exercising more lately, I definitely won’t have trouble getting up!”
